[SET COMMENTS]
  • Mamoswine is a physical attacker whose typing and offensive coverage grant it nifty role compression in that it checks numerous Steel-types and matches up well against Landorus-T and Thundurus. However, its middling Speed tier, numerous weaknesses against common attacking types, and offensive shortcomings in its lack of damage and susceptibility to Intimidate leave it as a very niche Pokemon in the metagame, one that is often better replaced by Kyurem-B or Landorus-T.
  • Icicle Crash OHKOes Landorus-T, Thundurus, and Latios. Icicle Spear is an option to OHKO Focus Sash Landorus-T but is less consistent against Thundurus and Latios, as it requires 3 hits to OHKO them. Earthquake OHKOes Heatran and 2HKOes Metagross and Tyranitar. Ice Shard gets around Mamoswine's mediocre Speed tier to hit Landorus-T and Latios first, 2HKOing them and circumventing Focus Sash Landorus-T, while Stealth Rock grants it some utility and chips foes to get them in KO range of its teammates' attacks.
  • Focus Sash allows Mamoswine to guarantee a damage trade one time and is especially useful for Mamoswine as it isn't affected by sand and hail damage.
  • Other options include Superpower to OHKO Tyranitar without Chople Berry. Mamoswine can also run Choice Scarf, which circumvents its mediocre Speed by outspeeding and OHKOing Latios, and it matches up even better into Landorus-T and Thundurus.
  • Mamoswine does poorly into Jellicent, which can use Will-O-Wisp and Recover against it, and rain, so support from Tyranitar, Thundurus, and powerful Dragon-types is appreciated. Thundurus also mitigates Mamoswine's mediocre Speed tier by using Thunder Wave against faster foes such as Latios and Kingdra. Support from strong Dragon-types such as Dragon Gem Latios also helps put other foes in range of Mamoswine's middling attacks. Heatran is a good teammate because it deals with Metagross, which outtrades Mamoswine despite Earthquake, and non-Ground-weak Steel-types in Ferrothorn, Scizor, and Genesect. Conkeldurr also deals with Ferrothorn and hits Kyurem-B and Excadrill, who beat Mamoswine. All of the aforementioned teammates greatly appreciate Mamoswine's ability to beat the ubiquitous Landorus-T and Thundurus. Teammates like Genesect and Metagross that can remove Cresselia quickly are necessary, as it walls Mamoswine.

Earthquake OHKOes Heatran and 2HKOs Metagross and Tyranitar. Ice Shard gets around Mamoswine's mediocre Speed tier to hit Landorus-T and Latios first 2HKOs both at minimum too, sash and 50-60 dmg roll respectively, while Stealth Rock grants it some utility and chips foes to get them in KO range of its teammates' attacks.
  • Focus Sash allows Mamoswine to guarantee a damage trade one-time and is especially good for Mamoswine as sand and hail damage doesn't don't/ Mamoswine is unaffected by Sand and Hail affect it.
  • Other options include Superpower to deal more damage to Tyranitar non chople only, and Choice Scarf, which circumvents Mamoswine's mediocre Speed and matches up even better into Landorus-T and Thundurus.
  • Mamoswine does poorly into Jellicent, who can Will-O-Wisp and Recover against it, and rain, so support from Tyranitar, Thundurus, and powerful Dragon-types is appreciated. Thundurus also mitigates Mamoswine's mediocre Speed tier by using Thunder Wave against faster foes such as Kingdra. Heatran is a good teammate because it deals with Metagross, which trades positively into Mamoswine despite Earthquake, and non-Ground-weak Steel-types in Ferrothorn, Scizor, and Genesect. Conkeldurr also deals with Ferrothorn and hits Kyurem-B and Excadrill who outtrade Mamoswine. Support from strong Dragon-types such as Dragon Gem Latios also puts foes in range of Mamoswine's middling attacks. you said support from strong dragon types twice, once at the start , not sure if this is intentional but I'd probably elaborate more here with an example of a target other than jellicent as well Teammates like Genesect and Metagross that can damage maybe "remove it quickly" or something to that effect, to add more urgency since it's such a large problem for it Cresselia are necessary as it walls Mamoswine. This Pokemon is quite bad and has too many negative matchups against even the things its supposed to beat to justify its usage.

very good 1/2
 
  • Add that Choice Scarf Mamoswine notably outspeeds and OHKOs Latios
  • Add that Superpower OHKOs non-Chople Tyranitar.
  • Add Latios to faster foes that Thundurus can slow down
  • I'd mention that Mamoswine's ability to beat genies benefits Latios, Conk, and Heatran

2/2 good work
